I’m in Canada where I think things are different then other countries for phone plans. I have a super cheap plan right now for $50 a month which is no longer available if I upgrade my device through any provider. I’ve never done it before but I was wondering if I buy my phone outright can I simply put my old SIM card in the new phone and still only pay $50 for my plan??
It may be a super stupid question or not, I’m not sure. But I’ve never heard of any of my friends doing this but that being said I can’t see why it wouldn’t work?
Thanks for the advice!
You can buy your phone from your provider, directly from the manufacturer, or a retail electronics company then pop your old SIM card in the new one. You should also have no problem switching to E-SIM if you prefer to go that way. I haven’t bought one through a carrier since the government required phones to be sold without a carrier lock. I think I’ve had three different phones since the last time I made any changes to my plan. I’ll be hanging on to my $43 /month plan as long as it fits my needs.
